I was an exchange student in Budapest, Hungary. We decided with my friend to make a trip to Prague, Czech Republic by train. On our way we stopped in Bratislava to spend a night there. Next morning we were back at the station, ready to continue our trip. We listened attentively to the announcements which were mainly in Slovakian, but we heard also something in English. We heard the words “Prague” and “Budapest”. The time of departure of that train matched well with the time printed on our tickets, so we hopped in the train. Last night we had been partying so we were tired and fell asleep on the train, not waking up before the train arrived to the station. We looked out of the windows, and wondered how similar impression Czech Republic and Hungary made. How nice everything looked like, and how much Hungarian influence there was in Prague! After a while we noticed that we actually had arrived back to Budapest. We had taken a train to the wrong direction! We were again in Hungary, at home. Later we got to know that the train to Prague would have left from the same platform only some minutes after the one headed to Budapest…
